Be professional. Be friendly. Be respectful. Focus on the project. +[Report inappropriate conduct](https://help.github.com/en/articles/reporting-abuse-or-spam). + +Contributions which fail to conform to these guidelines may be reworded, +censored, and/or reported as abuse without notice. + +## The long explanation + +We celebrate the fact that all contributions come from different humans with +their own unique attributes, background and history. However we also place a +strong emphasis on neutrality and a simple focus on the project's goals. +Contributions are thus particularly welcome when references to gender, +ethnicity, religion and so on are avoided as much as possible. +This is for inclusiveness, professionality, and also privacy and security. +This likely means that apart from usernames (which frequently unavoidably hint +about the author's background) there should be no personal information included +in contributions. + +Note that we have no contract with contributors. Introducing contributor licence +agreements (CLAs) would allow us to enforce additional rules but would also be a +scary barrier for new contributors. We don't want to be scary. We love you! |
